The death toll from the massive earthquake in Venezuela has surpassed 4,000.
On July 10 (local time), Jorge Rodriguez, Speaker of the Venezuelan National Assembly, announced via Telegram that at least 4,118 people had died and 16,740 had been injured due to the two earthquakes that occurred on June 24.

Venezuela, which has been grappling with a prolonged economic crisis, is also facing difficulties in recovery efforts. On July 8, the United Nations appealed to the international community for approximately 300 million dollars in emergency aid to support earthquake recovery.
